The 24th of May

Time flies so fast, now my niece has celebrated her birthday to add another year to her age. She once a cute be-dimpled baby, and those time that she makes us laugh, amazed with her wittiness, naughtiness, those times are now past-by just like the tick-of-the-clock. She has a boyfriend, a work, her own path to take. As I look by all these things, this makes me also think that I am also getting older. Hah, What?! Old? Me? No. But acceptance is the reality.

We went to Gerry's Grill, Alabang Town Center where she had chosen to spend her birthday along with her boyfriend's family, is she wants us to know that she is getting married. No way, me first. Hi-hi. But who am I to impede the future? I'm feeling the pressure here, getting married, having no boyfriend. Oh, my goodness!

Anyway, my tummy is happy again.

My love for park--it really refreshes me

Happy tummy!!!

And the one makes my tummy happy ....

our choice of food the classic Filipino cuisine

So, again I need to remind myself again and again that I AM ON A DIET. NO, not DIET, but losing weight. But every time I fall on this trap--food. The one I can't turn down. Ha-ha. Who will? Anyway, Happy Birthday to my niece Cristina.

How's your tummy everyone?

On a Mother's Day

It says that being a mother is the most wonderful thing that will happen to a woman's life, and also the most exciting, fulfilling, suffering, endearing, and hardship duty in a mother's life. Should I say duty? Anyway, a Mother's Day celebration always happen on the 2nd week in the month of May to give honor to all the mother's in the world. So, to all the mother's in the world a VERY LATE greetings of a Happy Mother's Day! :)

A mother's Day celebration cannot be completed without food. Yes, it is! Making our tummy happy, again or should I say my tummy. Hi-hi. Since we are only three people to celebrate it, we only chose to simply eat out in Sbarro, at SM City Sucat.

Happy Mother's Day!!!

and my-happy-tummy-me! This photo is taken by a 4 year old boy (my nephew)

And the food ... it's melting in your mouth, it doesn't cost  you much, but it makes you really full. The Baked Ziti itself make me really full I couldn't even eat my Chicago White Pizza, but I manage to finish it all well. Happy tummy. :)

our choice of food Baked Ziti, Chicago White Pizza and Super Supreme Pizza

Plus the fact the lights went off while everyone is having their happy meal on a Mother's Day. What a day! It was two times that the electricity went off, but good thing that everyone still happy on a Mother's Day especially the "Mothers". Can't wait myself to be Mom someday too, and be greeted the same thing, but wait I need to find my prince charming, first. Hee-yah!

I love the facade of their studio, it looks quite cozy

We also went to Great Images for a free photo shoots, they take you many shots on different pose and angle, but you only get one copy free, but if you want to get all the copy of the photo shots (3R size) it will cost you 320 per copy, but don't worry they will also give you the CD copy just in case you want to re-print it. My verdict--well the quality of the image is good, but the photo itself doesn't have the charisma when I look at it. I guess, it all depends on the photographer itself.

I wrote in my phone apps calendar that I'm going to lose weight, and my target date until December tell me how can I if every month is always like this?

How's yeah day everyone?
